Hanshithispantz Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 You would think we would be up for it too like. I just think the way we play makes it very difficult for sides who aren't extremely good on the ball (like the top 4) to play their game. I think we'll go balistic with Wilson uo top.

buzza Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I really want us to obliterate them! 4 goals or something… have the team really synchronised/fluid in both attack and defense. send a message out to the rest of the league that we have arrived and are not to be funked with Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankpingel Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Don't think Colback starts with all the new signings they've made, (Omar Richards will probably be LB/LWB). Considering JC wasn't good enough for their midfield Championship team I doubt he's in there next week. Going off the Forest forum I read McKenna (CB) is highly rated by them. The CB they've signed from Mainz certainly talks a good game from listening to an interview with him this week. They seem confident but I'd expect that to be the case. I'm expecting a relatively straightforward win but that may change as ko time draws nearer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I'm confident of a home win here, I'm far more wary of the promotion bounce when we have go to the oppositions gaff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I will predict we play the same starting lineup as that which started vs Benfica. that means surprise starts for Lascelles and Anderson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 They’ve made so many changes to their squad that I reckon they’ll be completely run over by how organised we are Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nortoon Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 With that many signings they can't be gelled well and have the partnerships we have. Our team has been trained together by Howe for ages. Can't see anything other than a win. Schar is the first name on the team-sheet for me, and since we should be superior against these I'd love us to surprise include Anderson in a fluid 4231 like we looked to be playing a few times in pre-season. Tripps - Schar - Botman - Targett Bruno - Joelinton Miggy - Anderson - Maxi Wilson Pretty much expect Willock or Longy to get the nod ahead of Anderson but I would love it.

You’d think it’ll take them some time to find their way. Hopefully anyways. Still surprised this one didn’t get picked for TV, if I was a neutral it’s 100% one I’d want to watch over some of the shite fixtures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdm Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 As I said in botman thread I’m predicting the line up will be Pope Trippier, schar, burn, target joelinton, bruno, willock Almiron, Wilson, ASM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schar was one our most consistent players last season, he's an intelligent player, who will compliment Botman perfectly. Gives us a much better foundation to play the ball out from the back. If they don't start together I'd be surprised. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 So what’s the craic with the few remaining tickets and why unsold? Seems a bit odd when people desperate for them. Is their some anomaly in the family section or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is their some anomaly in the family section or something? They are sold now but took ages because when there were only single seats left in level 7 you had to be between 13-17 to buy them. Also if you look at the Man City game it says online sale 4 August but already says sold out next to it. I don't think they know what they are doing.

Howeay Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I dare say there might be a few adults trying to get in with junior tickets for this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) There's issue in the family section apparently of seats not being close to each other. For example you can't buy an adult ticket on its own, at the same time if you want to take little 5yr old Geordie the seats may well be 10 rows and 70 seats apart.
